Introduction:
This writing is not intended to provide medical advice or to take the place of medical advice and treatment from your personal physicians. This is my story about what I did for myself when I had melanoma cancer and three months to live.

Here is how I remember starting my war against melanoma cancer.

1. I ate and drank only what would strengthen my immune system.

2. Ate no animal fat or meat of any kind for six months. After six months I incorporated chicken and turkey into my diet weekly.

3. No sugar.

4. No salt, white flour, processed foods, cured meats, no margarine, butter only!

5. Did not eat food with toxins such as nitrites and food additives

6. No heavy metals such as mercury, sometimes found in fish.

7. Avoided environmental toxins as much as possible. Such as solvents and pesticides.

8. Avoided city water supply.

9. Immediately started on vitamin supplements: wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa grass. Plus 104 vitamins per day. Many of the vitamin pills and capsules were taken several times a day to add to the total taken to 104.

10. I turned to God for his help to uncover his divine plan of health for my body, soul, and
spirit.

All of the above brought health, nutrition, fitness, and wholeness to my life. Most importantly the above program deepened my fellowship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Wow!

Note: My food and drink intake was severely changed. My daily food was taken from this list but not necessarily limited to it!Cruciferous vegetables I could eat: Broccoli, cabbage, collard greens, kohlrabi, kale, cauliflower, bokchoy, turnips, Squash, rutabagas, horseradish, etc. All veggies were organic. I ate deep water salmon 2 to 3 times a week to help with omega 3 I needed. I also took fish oil capsules, tomatoes and lots of tomato juice. Green, red, and yellow peppers, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, turnips, celery, lettuce, onions, garlic, etc. Apples, oranges, bananas, tangerines, all berries, apricots, etc.I ate all fruits and veggies raw. Or would daily juice some together. I never put anything on them that might have made them taste better. I also ate several different kinds of nuts. . Did not take long for me to realize that if it tasted good, I was eating something I should not have.

But here is the real shocker. To this day, I can and sometimes will eat my vegetables raw. Truly, I learned to like raw veggies. Within a year and three months I can say I was back on what I considered normal food. Will eat foods I know I should not have, but certainly not very often. Except meat. I very seldom eat meat to this day. Except chicken, turkey, and fish.The year was 1972. I was told by a doctor at City of Hope Cancer Center in California that I had a very large tumor under my right arm. He said he had to operate and remove it immediately.

He took out the extremely large tumor. However, he saw what he said were many pieces of the tumor scattered around under my arm. He asked the doctor who assisted him if she would like to get some experience for removing all of those pieces of the tumor. He reminded her that I probably did not have more than three months to live. The assistant said yes, she really wanted to do it. I was later told by my doctor she worked with me for over two more hours taking out all the cancer pieces she could find. She told my doctor she could not get all of them, but did what she could.

Then she added “maybe what I did will give her three more months.”When I returned home from the hospital and saw my sister crying hysterically, I knew the reality of my life being cut short. Until this moment it, wasn’t clear that any of this was happening. Now I knew I had to win this war against cancer. No way did I know where to begin nor how hard it was going to be.I became very quiet because I was tired and extremely weak.

But my mind was working . Spent most of my time alone reading a book that I found in my large book shelf. To this day ,I have no idea where it came from. It was all about how to cure cancer! Because I was a Professing Christian the thought came to me to turn alii was or ever would be, over to Jesus. As I was praying asking Jesus to show me what was needed in my life to win this battle with cancer, He said to me “do you want to live or come home?;’ I was totally shocked. It was a tough choice for me to make. During this heavenly experience, this is the only way I know to explain the power in my room at that time. Something very important happened. For many years I had experienced, day after day, horrible memories that knocked me to my knees. I would feel hurt, pain, and hate throughout my body. It was always beyond my ability to cope. Often I thought living just one more day was not worth it. Suddenly as I sat there in my bed Jesus spoke again. He said he could and would heal all my hurts and pain and bad memories. I could hear him speak from the inside out. His presence was all around me right there in my bedroom. I asked him to heal me of bad memories and the cancer as I could not do it myself. His peace and healing power and love poured upon me. I could feel it within me. What an experience.Then my mind was on myself. I knew Jesus was healing me.

My part in the healing of the cancer and all the other horrible memories was to completely forgive everyone and everything that caused me such deep hurt and pain, but I had to do it HIS WAY not my way.I had to let go of all the negative thoughts right at that time. It was also clear to me I must never allow any of them or any other trash to enter my mind again. I have never felt so humble in my life. There would never be space within my body, mind or soul for trash again because as the trash was leaving, Jesus’ Holy Spirit was filling up every cell in my body. I said come on my sweet sister let us begin the cancer therapy. I want to live and we are going to win this battle. She just seemed to glow. We went to the vitamin store and the open tent market along the highway where I bought nearly every kind of vegetable they had and some of every fruit. All were organically grown right in Riverside. We bought wheat grass seeds to start growing it in the house. I bought what I needed for my coffee enemas, ordered a special juicer that really juiced everything. It was great. We cleaned out the refrigerator of things not on the new daily menus. Next day I started my three day fast. After three days, I felt like I could take on the world. I told Deanne God was removing all the cancer, but we had to get my body on the healthy side or it might return. I was not taking any medication. Just the vitamin supplements. There are a few I still take today.After a few days of eating raw vegetables, fruits, and juicing all combinations of veggies and fruit, I began getting very hungry for food, such as hamburgers, hotdogs, meats, pork, ice cream, cookies, cake, etc. Oh the hunger for these foods was so strong. I was sure I was going to fail and go off the diet. With Deanne’s help, I did not go off the diet.Deanne and I were busy from morning to night stuffing veggies, fruits, wheat grass, barley grass, vitamins, and juice down me every half hour. As I think back about all we went through I cannot imagine how we went through it without giving up. Deanne said it was the love and power of God that leads us through. She didn’t get an argument from me. During my glowing times with Jesus the big lesson I learned was I had to do things HIS WAY, not MY WAY.After four months, my food intake was still fresh veggies, both raw and juiced. Wheat grass etc. However every three months I added other foods to my diet. Such as: Breads, chicken, eggs, potatoes, onions, garlic, cheese, peanut butter, raw nuts, etc.It is so interesting to me that I have not been sick since the cancer left my body.

That’s approximately 30 years ago, no colds, no flu’s, etc. There has been no more sadness, depression, pain, hurting, or suffering. I’ll be 76 years old in two months. My body and mind are slowing down, legs are weak, no pain in my body. Even so life here on earth may be short for me. That’s OK! I’m ready to go home anytime.

One more thing I want to share. I was pronounced cancer free approximately one year after I first went to City of
Hope. The doctor said he wanted to see me every three months because the cancer could return. I gave him a real funny look and said I don’t think I’ll be back. I reminded him of the many times I had tried to tell him about the cancer cure program I was on. No one would listen. The Dr. wrote on my medical file that it was a “MIRACLE HEALING” as there was no other explanation for it. I was speechless. The doctor asked me to tell him one more time what I had been doing to get well. Using the love and patience of the Holy Spirit within me I asked the doctor to step out into the halls. Then tell someone what you see. In fact tell yourself all that you see. If you see anything? Then I left and have never gone back. By the way: the walls of all the halls were full of beautiful frames with pictures of beautiful healthy raw vegetables, fruits, bible, and bible scriptures, and I saw a picture of a supplement bottle tipped over with vitamins coming out. Can you imagine that? I wonder if the doctor ever saw them.
